I couldn't stop listening to this audiobook, not only the elements of the story were captivating but so was  the voice reading it. I have a preference for the beginning of the story with Delilah's perspective and wish I could have had more of it throughout the story. Didn't necessarily like the final outcome but the story was good all along ! The TW were a little triggering at first but the story moves a different direction and takes a different perspective. Definitely recommend if you like these kind of mystery.

I enjoyed every moment of this... right up until I didn't.  I struggled with the plot holes and how unbelievable the big twist was. The ending I made up in my head was better than the one we were given. 

Fun read, but don't expect too much.

Fast read, keeps interest. Kinda saw most of the twist which was bumming but still really good twists that still made it good and very rememberable, did not disappoint for one of the first books in the genre and would recommend to friends. Very mind boggling

I really enjoyed it. It was mysterious and intense. I loved how many medical references they did. All the characters in it were wonderful. It gave me major flashbacks to covid times.

I honestly really enjoyed this but I do agree w the reviews saying that the story isn't realistic to how police investigations would go but I really enjoyed the storytelling part & the emotion. I do think Meredith was dumb as a brick, which was annoying but dumb ppl exist so it's possible
